Our Kayaks

We use custom kayaks crafted in Oregon by SOTAR, the world’s top white water raft manufacturer. Our expert guide will lead you on a paddle adventure through Phang Nga Bay’s “Tidal Nape Sea Caves”.

This unique experience is both awe-inspiring and perfectly safe, thanks to the specialized custom kayaks, ensuring no capsizes, punctures or accidents.

 

Wild-life

After a comprehensive briefing, your professional guide will navigate you and your companion through the “Tidal Nape” Sea Caves, leading into the “Hongs” (Thai for “Rooms”) nestled within the marine limestone karstic islands of Phang Nga Bay. These concealed, cliff-lined lagoons are inhabited by Macaques, Water monitors, Kingfishers, Mudskippers, Egrets, Sea Eagles and Brahminy Kites.

 

Loy-Kratongs

The adventure culminates after nightfall with a serene and spectacular natural light show as you float your self-made flower “Kratong.” While enjoying our delectable seafood-vegan buffet during the return journey, you’ll arrive at the pier two hours past sunset.

Our previous guests have described the evening Loy Kratong ceremony, featuring bioluminescent plankton, as a “spiritual experience,” the “best trip of our lives anywhere,” and “the best Thai food we’ve ever had – and on a boat.”

These caves reveal stunning stalactites, stalagmites, and lush vegetation, creating an enchanting and mystical experience. Panak Island’s unique topography and the opportunity to explore its remarkable geological formations make it a must-visit for adventurers and nature enthusiasts seeking to delve into the intriguing world of Phang Nga Bay’s hidden wonders.

The island features a captivating, hidden lagoon surrounded by towering limestone cliffs, accessible only through a narrow entrance.
